Hi there,
I'm trying the whole oral sedation route at the moment.
I've been given 10mg diazepam tablets, and the instructions were to take 10mg the night before, 10mg when I wake up, and 10mg before the appointment.
I did that - and another 10mg in the waiting room a I was still on the verge of a breakdown. It just about - and I mean only just about - took the very slightest edge off.
I have to go back in on Thursday for two fillings. The panic and nausea have already started creeping in.
My main question, is what is the optimum time to take the tablets to feel the effects when I need them most? I'm not going to bother with the night before tablet (I just cry myself to sleep ), and have to go to work before the procedure so probably won't take one when I wake up (7.30am, work at 8.45am, will leave work at 10.20am to get there for my appointment that is 10.50am).
I think I'll end up taking 3 tablets, so 30mg. When would be the best time to take them? How long does it take for the effects to be at their strongest?
Thank you..
